[spirallingdark]

DARRIEN? THE SAME DARRIEN AS IN EPISODE 13? ANOTHER AU VERSION OF HIM?

[james-spooky]

WHERE IS THAT ONE POST

THE ONE THAT WAS LIKE "WHAT IF YOU WERE THE EVIL TWIN, AND YOU MEET THE VERSION OR YOURSELF THAT SHINES LIKE THE GODDAMN SUN" OR SMTH

ITS ALL I COULD THINK OF THIS EPISODE

[some-zer0]

I wonder if the Magnus Institute's Oxford Outreach Centre deals specifically with interdimensional stuff -- like the outreach they're doing is literally reaching out to other dimensions

[clown-eating-pig]

This part made me giggle out loud. Man, that is NOT your half brother 😭😭😭

[elegantmarigold]

This episode drove me slightly insane, so to form any coherent thoughts I decided to annotate the transcript like it's a required reading assignment

[cirrus-grey]

Anyway, there was a new receptionist behind the old front desk, some big, soft looking guy who stumbled over every word ... There was another patient too, some bookish-looking guy with serious city miles ... Thinking back, I almost wonder if the same thing happened to them…

Okay well now they're just feeding us fanfic prompts on a silver platter.

[hypocrisy-incarnate]

losing my shit over this episode THE RECEPTIONIST SOUNDED SO MUCH LIKE A DESCRIPTION OF MARTIN??? especially like s1, s2 martin aughhh what IS THISSSS

[mj-slenderman]

Oh so Miss Celia gets the statement about doubles. Hmmmm. Much to think about

[springypaws]

GUYS I SWEAR IM SANE

IM SO SANE IM NOT DESPERATE WHATSOEVER.

ID: the three screenshots of the unofficial Magnus Protocol script of episode 17 read: “Anyways, there was a new receptionist behind the old front desk, some big, soft-looking guy who stumbled over every word. A year ago it would have probably wound me right up, but what can I say? Therapy works.”

“There was another patient, too, some bookish-looking guy with serious city miles. I used to play the game ‘what are you in for,’ where I would pass the time guessing… well. You know. In my head he was definitely the kind of weird pervert, really into stroking orchids or something.”

“Celia: … (to computer) Thanks, I guess. Not exactly the same, though, is it? [typing noises stop as a chair swivels in Celia’s direction.]”

[mechanical-v1scera]

If Sam, Celia and Alice don’t all end up dating each other I’m gonna be so sad

I just can’t stop picturing Alice and Celia as like… a married couple staying up at night to talk affectionate shit about their pathetic little boyfriend

[a-genderless-frog]

"Statement follows"

Not "Statement begins"

I can't be the only one thinking about this.

(Memes aside, this episode's subversion of the 'evil doppleganger' trope was just *chef's kiss*)

[kaz-oooo]

Rip my friend that likes to listen to me rant about my fixations, doesn’t like horror and will never listen to The Magnus Archives/Protocol. I have SO MANY thoughts after that last episode that I needed to get out of my brain and no coherent way to put them together. She’s gonna wake up to a behemoth of a message that is purely horror podcasts conspiracy theories piled on top of one another!

[akorean]

I know Celia is mostly interested in the information the government has, but I also hope that she (at least to some extent) wants to build a relationship with Sam , and the others

Mostly because they will absolutely go through some horrible horrible stuff, I mean... have you seen the needle man?

I think they need something good before that, and friendship/whatever else they have might be that , idk

OK, so, parallel universes

There is 1 other statement in TMA that follows a similar script

Don't remember the number, but basically, someone from a world without the institute gets transported to a world where everything is a bit different (pr something like that)

Now, I propose, those are not fear related. Maybe the twin and basement dad part, but not the transportation part

I think there are more wormholes , like the one on Hilltop Road

And I think THE MAGNUS PROTOCOL will focus more on that

In later seasons at least
